It’s Veterans Day, and while we can never thank our vets enough for everything they’ve done for us, many musicians have chosen to send their appreciation through way of song and video. From live concert footage through tours of Iraq, to chronicling the brave men and women who continue to protect our freedom, heavy metal has always supported our military to the utmost degree.
Some 90 years since President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed this day as Veterans Day, heavy metal continues to show its gratitude to America’s heroes. Check out these videos below showcasing some of the genre’s greatest supporters.

Now Streaming: Black Metal Documentary “Until the Light Takes Us”
In the early to mid-1980s, a collection of thrash metal bands sought to create a hostile, new genre of extreme heavy metal. Through the efforts of Bathory, Venom, and even Mercyful Fate, black metal developed as its own distinct entity, spawning a second wave of sycophants from the Norwegian metal scene.

Outstanding Asian Music Video: Co-Ed School – “Bbiribbom Bberibbom”
I clearly remember a time in America when pop music videos were more than just a 3-minute blast of lightning fast cuts. For whatever reason, well-crafted videos became a thing of the past, just like the boy bands that actually tended to steer away from this blitzkrieg of editing. For Korea, this end of a [...]
I clearly remember a time in America when pop music videos were more than just a 3-minute blast of lightning fast cuts. For whatever reason, well-crafted videos became a thing of the past, just like the boy bands that actually tended to steer away from this blitzkrieg of editing. For Korea, this end of a Golden Era has never occurred. Their videos are well-composed, funny, colorful, wonderfully choreographed, and cinematic. Take for instance my first Outstanding Asian Music Video. I’m proud to bestow this honor upon brand new 10-member group Co-Ed School (or 남녀공학 – Nam Nyeo Gong Hak) for their video “Bbiribbom Bberibbom.” I don’t have the foggiest idea what they’re saying, but boy do I love this video!
